Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[hahay]

This season the competition in the top zone in the Bundesliga standings at this moment is not only about Bayern Munich and Dortmund, but there are still five other teams who are also still competing to be able to finish in a better position. Union Berlin, Leipzig, Freiburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt and maybe also Mainz because their point gap still allows them to move up or into the top six.

Therefore, any team that cannot be consistent will have a very high chance of being overtaken. Maybe it was because at the start of the season Bayern Munich couldn't dominate properly, so finally the other teams were able to maximize the situation to get tickets to the European zone next season.

[wmaurik]

Union Berlin is having a great season so far in the league in Germany. But they are also still active in the Europa League, and they have very good opportunities to reach the final. German football is back on the map thankfully. And Bayern Munich is also very vulnerable this season. Lots of draws and defeats. If Borussia Dortmund has a chance to become champions, it is definitely this season. But Bayern is still the leader and of course also the big favorite for the title, but the lead has shrunk enormously. This week there is the match between the numbers 18 and 17 on the list, Schalke 04 and Herta Berlin. The ideal opportunity for Schalke to come from last place with a win.

Union Berlin has indeed shown very good progress this season, although I'm still not sure that Union Berlin will win the Bundesliga because there are still two other big teams, such as Bayern Munich and Dortmund, who are still able to put up a better fight. Likewise in other competitions such as the European League which still makes me not sure that Union Berlin will win because there are many other teams that are stronger, even though there are still opportunities for Union Berlin in the two major competitions this season.

[SquallLeonhart]

Maybe, but for sure, at the end of the season the games will get tougher and we will see how these teams do the rest of the job. also, considering the rankings of Leipzig and freiburg which occupy 4th and 5th place. plus, with 7 games remaining until the season ends. that means, the three teams we mentioned have the potential to rank 3rd. after all, they still have tough matches. so, changes in the leaderboard are subject to change at any time. yes, it depends on how each team plays its matches.

but IMO, I suspect that Union Berlin is going to have a bad run of games. I mean, Union Belin will slip up in some of their bouts. that way, the team that is below them has the potential to overtake the ranking occupied by Union Berlin. in fact, I have an interest in Leverkusen. squad team made by Xabi Alonso, has the potential to occupy the 4th position. but with one condition, they must win all the remaining matches. even then it's not easy, because they still have tough matches like meeting with Liepzig and Union Berlin.

Well, at least this season the Bundesliga offers something different. not impossible, if there is a change at the top of the standings. yeah, we don't know. So, it's interesting for us to follow until this season ends.

We will not know who will have the third place, we do not know who will get the first place neither. Bundesliga is very tight right now and the race until the very end is going to be tough as well, we just need to wait and see week in and week out.

Bayern is the likely candidate to win the title, but we have seen them drop points when least expected before, there is no reason why they won't do that, plus they have UCL game to play as well which means that they may shift their focus on the title instead, and that could be different situation. I hope that we get to see the best teams to try and win, but that doesn't mean that we will not be seeing Bayern playing a bit worse and maybe Dortmund getting it, and anything below could happen.

[Distraction]

Dortmund's condition in the league could have been much better than this actually. But they just lost so many matches so far otherwise they have only 2 draws.

They could have even been quite ahead of Bayern Munich in the standings. But things are still going fine for Dortmund now. Of course it wasn't good for them to lose to Bayern Munich recently but their performance was really bad at defending. There was no way they were going to get any point in that match. Dortmund will still hope for Bayern Munich to make a mistake at some point. Bayern Munich are focused on the Champions League also. If they even get bad results then maybe it can affect them in a bad way mentally.

After Dortmund lost the game against Chelsea and lost the Champions League, now Bayern Mucni as the first team on the table lost the game against another team in the premier league these two teams are not in the same situation and both are just racing the or Bundesliga title ut since Bayern Munich had a bad day against Manchester City in champions leag which can have a negative effect on them I see more chance for Dortmund in this season.

Regarding the struggle for the top positions in the first and second standings, Bayern Munich and Dortmund are still on the right track. I think the only challenger who has the chance to catch Dortmund is Union Berlin, while Leipzig, Freiburg and Leverkusen are chasing each other to secure the top five positions in the standings. The remaining few matches will determine whether they finish in the standings and how far their consistency gives the best results in the remaining matches.

What's interesting is the competition between Bayern Munich and Dortmund, which are currently only two points apart, so the competition for the Bundesliga title will be even tougher with the remaining matches ahead, so that the two teams must play more consistently in the remaining matches.

I think even though this is a pretty heavy defeat, it doesn't mean it's over for Bayern.
Even though it will definitely be difficult for Leg 2 with a margin of 3 goals there but still the chance is still there so for now it would be very funny if they gave up halfway, at least even if they couldn't in the end they still had to try until the end.

[Swordsoffreedom]

If only they beat bayern few days ago ... everyone would agree that dortmund still had a big chance in this title race , but the result says it all ... there are no team capable to compete fully with bayern munich at this time , only bayern themselves could decide whether to destroy themselves by losing a lot of points in the rest of the match of the season or yeah dortmund can only putting pressure on till the last matchday.
Though situation for dortumnd in bundesliga title race after that defeat to beyern.

What is clear is that Dortmund will continue to press until the final matchday with the abilities they already have at this point, while Bayern Munich will continue to maintain itself at the top of the standings until the final matchday. And this is actually very interesting because the Bundesliga will continue to show more exciting competition in the remainder of this season with two big teams that will continue to give their best performance in every remaining match this season.

dortmund are in their best performance so they will definitely fight hard to continue winning until the end of matchday, as well as bayern, after feeling threatened by dortmund in the standings, there is no reason not to try hard to focus on winning all the matches that will happen even though Currently they are also focusing on the Champions League.

Borussia Dortmund's pursuit of the German Bundesliga is very realizable and that's why they'll fight for it till the end of the season. They're are just two points behind Bayern Munich who has an all important Champions League quarter final tie against Manchester City to win. Dortmund are out of Europe and us focused in the domestic league and that gives them an added advantage to rest players for every weekend while Bayern Munich will be playing in mid-weeks.
Bayern Munich have dominated the German league for the past 9 years and if there's any team that's gonna end that dominance then it'll be Borussia Dortmund

Although Dortmund is only 2 points behind Bayern Munich, it is much harder for Dortmund to regain the top spot in the table. Bayern Munich is a very strong team. And in the match against Dortmund, Munich proved their ability.
However, since Bayern Munich is also fighting for the Champions League title, Munich's performance may be a little weak in a few matches in the Bundesliga. However, if Munich loses against Manchester City, Munich will be eliminated from the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Then, their only target will be the Bundesliga title. And if it will happen, Dortmund will have no chance of winning the title.
However, I feel that the Dortmund team will not be able to continue to perform consistently. They will lose points in the upcoming matches and Dortmund's points gap with Munich will increase.

I think that Dortmund is the most consistent team of all the Bundesliga in the last 15 games they have only 1 draw against Schalke away and one lost against Bayern Munchen also away from home and 13 victories,no other team in the Bundesliga is doing this great so Dortmund is really a strong contender this time.
I think that it will be difficult for Bayern Munchen to qualify against Manchester City but anything can happen,if Manchester City did not have Haaland in their team then most probably Bayern would win and qualify but the fact that Manchester City,a really strong team even without Haaland can be really dangerous when they also have Haaland on their side and this encounter which will see the first leg tonight cannot be decided until the return leg even if Bayern wins tonight.

Bayern Munich lost badly against Manchester City yesterday. They lost the match 3-0. And the entire match was dominated by Manchester City players. After losing 3-0 in the away match, the chances of Bayern Munich winning the home match by more than 3 goals are very low. Munich won't be able to qualify for the semi-finals by defeating City as champions. And so now the team will fully focus on the Bundesliga matches. And Bayern Munich is a very strong team. If they give full focus to Bundesliga then their performance will be more stable in Bundesliga. And now I don't think any other team has the ability to dislodge the Munich team and occupy the top spot in the table.

Schalke and Hertha Berlin will play against each other at Friday. An important game for both clubs. Each winner can put the other on distance. A draw will not help anyone  because then they would remain at place 17 and 18.
Stuttgart will play against Dortmund and Bochum against Union Berlin. Both clubs from the bottom of the table will probably lose their games.
Schalke or Hertha Berlin could therefore manage to move up to place 16.

[shogun47]

I will prefer to remove freiburg from the list and try to add leverkusen to the list why? the inconsistency of freiburg has been making many people distrust the club to get a spot in UCL. Union berlin and leipzig are going back again on the right track while freiburg is still struggling with its performance. Your focus must be on the leverkusen right now.

I agree with you partially. If i had to pick the 4 teams of the Bundelsiga that will qualify for the Champions League next season then those teams would be Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leizpig and Bayer Leverkusen, because those 4 teams are simply having the strongest squads of the league. I am not so sure though, if Union Berlin can really finish the league on of the top 4 ranks. Just as Freiburg, they are playing way above their expectations in this season so far, but in the last few weeks it was also obvious that they are getting tired now. Both Union and Freiburg have lost their matches on the weekend and if Leverkusen can keep it's momentum, then that 8 point lead of Union does not mean that much, because there are still 21 points to be earned.

Maybe to take Freiburg out of the limelight right now is natural for their inconsistency, but the next matches Leipzig and Leverkusen have quite tough opponents coming up, I don't think we can decide on this now because we don't know what the dynamics and results will be. the next match, I'm not sure I have to include Leverkusen in the team that will qualify for the Champions League because Leverkusen in the next few matches will face Lepzig and Union Berlin, of course this is quite tough, even though in five Leverkusen matches they collected full points from each match, I think Union Berlin will not throw away its sweat just like that.

In my opinion it is still an open race from Union Berlin downwards. Bayern and Dortmund are safely going to play for 1st and 2nd although I can't see how Bayern is going to throw this one away as well. Which would be absolutely insane also for the Bayern bosses as they fired Nagelsmann in order to achieve their goals as they said! LOL

But from Union Berlin downwards it is an open race with open ending so far. Union still has two important advantages: one is of course the three points they have more than the 4th and then there is also the goal difference, which gives them an advantage over Freiburg and that could become relevant at the end of the season.

[Cryptmuster]

This point gap between other teams from fourth place downward is too tiny, and making predictions with it can only result in you losing money on money. To be on the safe side, I will only bet on Bayern and Dortmund matches against other teams, and they will be a double chance at most.

It looks like Bayern will now be able to fully focus on the Bundesliga as City left little chance for them in the second leg. A very confident victory, I did not expect that everything for Bayern would end in the first match. Nevertheless, I consider the dismissal of Negelsman before such an important match a huge mistake on the part of the club's management, Tuchel could not change anything in such a short period of time. And of course they will win the Bundesliga, but is it really that important?

Hertha and Schalke are at the bottom of the points table. And the points difference between these two teams is only 1. Hertha is 1 point ahead of Schalke. But the performance of these two teams is very weak. However, both have the potential to climb out of the relegation zone. Schalke is 5 points behind Bochum. However, if they perform well in a few matches and win, they can get out of the relegation zone. Hertha vs Schalke match is most likely to be a draw. Because the performance of both is weak. My prediction about this match is that the match will be a 1-1 draw. Although Schalke played well in a few matches, now their performance has deteriorated again.

As you said both teams in at the bottom of the table and since these two teams are in the danger zone they should try hard to somehow get full points in this game where both teams are playing against a game at the same level, Hertha had the worst performance recently and during the last five games they had they never won a game while in Schalke they won one game I guess Schalke can have more chance in this game.

[rendravolt]

They could have even been quite ahead of Bayern Munich in the standings. But things are still going fine for Dortmund now. Of course it wasn't good for them to lose to Bayern Munich recently but their performance was really bad at defending. There was no way they were going to get any point in that match. Dortmund will still hope for Bayern Munich to make a mistake at some point. Bayern Munich are focused on the Champions League also. If they even get bad results then maybe it can affect them in a bad way mentally.

After being eliminated from the champions league, Dortmund has not fully returned to its best performance. However, if we look at the last few matches that Dortmund have played, the results are quite good, they won from Cologne, Union Berlin and lost to Bayern Munich and Schalke in a draw.

Even so, the distance of 2 points from Bayern Munich is at least still relatively small and maybe if in the second leg of the UCL later, Bayern Munich fails to turn things around against Manchester City, then Bayern Munich will fully focus on the Bundesliga title. But until the game arrives, I think Bayern Munich's focus is still divided and Dortmund can maximize that well if Bayern Munich will stalemate in the next match.

If I look at the odds for these two teams for the match in the near future it is almost the same, even though the match takes place at Schalke's home ground. However, by looking at the performances of these two teams which have not been very good lately, it is possible that these two teams will share points, although I am also not sure that this will happen. But that could happen in their match unless one of them recovers better.

For matches at the bottom of the standings like this it is actually quite difficult to predict who will win because indeed both of them will definitely have ambitions, but on the other hand performance is also certainly decisive in this case.
The condition of both of the last 5 matches did not really show anything good. But on the other hand, actually matches like this are always a lot of opportunities created and I will watch this even without betting there.

I can't say that before the results of the second leg match, because even though they have an aggregate of 3 goals, Bayern Munich is a team that can score that many goals. And Manchester City can still experience unwanted things like last season, for example, Real Madrid lost their place. They will try in one more game, and when they fail, then I would say they will focus more on the Bundesliga.

After being eliminated from the champions league, Dortmund has not fully returned to its best performance. However, if we look at the last few matches that Dortmund have played, the results are quite good, they won from Cologne, Union Berlin and lost to Bayern Munich and Schalke in a draw.

Even so, the distance of 2 points from Bayern Munich is at least still relatively small and maybe if in the second leg of the UCL later, Bayern Munich fails to turn things around against Manchester City, then Bayern Munich will fully focus on the Bundesliga title. But until the game arrives, I think Bayern Munich's focus is still divided and Dortmund can maximize that well if Bayern Munich will stalemate in the next match.

What is certain, Edin Terzic's current task is to return his team to its true form. as a coach, Terzic must bring his team to win the rest of their matches with victory. not easy indeed, but because currently Dortmund is in tight competition with the top standings. that means, they have to do their best. win over Union Berlin in last week's match, should be a strong motivation for them to face the remaining match after match. and hope that Bayern will slip in some of their matches.

As for Munich, the situation that Bayern are currently in is not very pleasant. Yes, they lost at the Etihad in a landslide, making Tuchel's attention and focus divided for two competitions. at least, Tuchel will learn about his team's mistakes in yesterday's match and look for a formula for the second leg match. on the other hand, Bayern must maintain its position at the top of the standings. and if they let their guard down, the repercussions would be quite disastrous. because as we know, currently Dortmund overshadows them with only 2 points difference. fortunately, Bayern's opponent this week is not a strong team. yes, Bayern must get 3 points over Hoffenheim.

Well, it looks like this week the Bundesliga will offer interesting matches and there might be a change in ranking on the standings board.

[jakdanyel]

I'm really hyped about Leverkusen's insane effort in the league recently. Because their recent winning streak has helped them a lot about reaching the sixth place. I mean this team were having quite big struggles before Xabi Alonso arrived here. Even after he came I doubted their performance honestly. Because Xabi Alonso didn't have any experience with a big team in his management career. There wasn't even so much time passed since he started his manager career.

But despite everything he managed to break down the prejudices for me. His performance with the team so far has been really amazing. They were near the relegation field but now they have a spot for the Europa Conference League. They aren't even far away from the 4th place - 5 points.

Considering that they are the most in-form team in the league now I would love to see them fighting for a place to join the Champions League as well.

[bitgolden]

They will try in one more game, and when they fail, then I would say they will focus more on the Bundesliga.

I wouldn't guess that could happen right now. I mean this is 3 goals we are talking about and this is City as well, if they end up getting 4 goals or more scored on them, without ever scoring a goal, that would be very shocking result to me. Not only I think City will not get scored that much and go to next stage, I also believe that they are going to end up winning the second game as well.

It would be a simple reasoning as well, Bayern will play a lot more attacking on the next game, and remember that City has Haaland, so when Bayern is attacking, City will get the ball and just put it ahead, Haaland will go and get it and score, after that Bayern will just simply give up knowing they can't score that much more.
